 To add and subtract similar fraction, simply add

or subtract the numerator and copy the
denominator. To add or subtract fractions with
dissimilar denominators, get the LCD. Convert
the fractions to similar fractions or equivalent
fractions using the LCD. Then, add or subtract
the equivalent fractions.
 To subtract mixed forms with dissimilar fractions,
make the fraction similar. If the fraction in the
minuend is less than the fraction in the
subtrahend, rename the minuend as a mixed
form with a fraction greater than one.

 To solve routine and non-routine problems

involving additions and subtraction of
fractions: Understand the problem, plan
strategies/tools in solving the problem like
illustration, actualization etc. and then solve
by writing the mathematical statement.
